    That's understandable. Even so, all Americans will never agree upon political issues.

    You are very wrong about that. I've had the ears of people standing with, near and above me. You may not really KNOW how to care about what I say, and I've warned you many times before that you do not know everything (as smart as you may be).

    So, understand that you are living in world of equals. You may think you can stand above me because of any number of factors YOU regard... but you cannot affect all that I can influence.

    Again, I understand that you don't regard what I say; and that is what it is.

    Convince yourself; you aren't convincing me. I've seen your conclusions many times and realize you are in-error 'somewhere'.

    You are right about some things, but you don't know everything.

    you took issue because I only gave one example, and yet you're unable to give even one example to back your own argument. You fail to meet your own standard.

    Sadly, that is where we have to go with this. Years ago I wanted to avoid that, but I see much truth in what you are sharing here. (Still, I'll tone it down a bit here.)

    You mean "not all Americans will agree on political issues."

    Yes, and perhaps when you're not online you actually present facts and logical rationale, but you seem to shun such things here.

    How arrogant and stupid.




    Yet the 'error' is rarely something you're able to articulate. For example, you're not convinced that zero is less than one, yet are unable to articulate anything to the contrary.


    No, I don't know everything. But whenever I do assert my own opinion on a subject I, unlike a child, don't simply state feelings, I state facts and reasons. That's where we differ.

    I'm pretty sure we 'disagree'. What do you think? :)

    I'm not here to school you and I won't pretend to.

    You can figure out things for yourself.

    As for what we'll see of the GOP tripping themselves up in the future, it's just a matter of time.

    they're not swinging blind, as demonstrated by the link on ethics I gave earlier, showing that voters now trust the GOP more than Democrats on ethics/corruption issues.

    Rather than being sad about it realize that we have a job to do, to exterminate the rabid dog that is now the republican party. I am sick of democratic representatives who look in horrified wonderment at a new right wing atrocity and gasp helplessly "I had no idea they would go this far. They are my friends. I have served next to them in congress/legislature for years!" I recently saw a special on how the fascists took over Italy and put Mussolini in as dictator. The traitorous Republican elitist scum are using the same techniques to steal power. They have turned the american political landscape into a bloody arena must be cut down before they twist our country into a fiefdom for the power elite. This will not happen with limp wristed hand wringing, but with righteous anger and steel willed commitment to fight them at every level until their poisonous corruption is swept from our body politic.

    Yeah, Democrats are going to HAVE to play serious hardball to get things right.

    That Tea Party element of the GOP, has really ramped-up the extremism and intransigence on the Right.

    No it's not partisan anything. Only the mindless whackjobs believe that bills should not even be allowed a vote. if the GOP votes a bill down, fine. But this congress has stopped more bills from even getting a vote than any in history. That's why the GOP is doomed. The idiots who still justify their BS are reducing in number by the day.
    While LibDems will criticize Obama and the Dems when they do things that are unethical, the ConservaRepubs are mind controlled nowadays. So they have no credibility.

    you mean that the SENATE has been filibustered more than any history? I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with the bold-headedness of the majority party in the Senate, or of the sheer number of bills being put through Congress. For example, while it's true our Senate filibustered more bills than in 1800, it's also introduced more.

    People easily forget history. The Democrats of late Clinton and early Bush, at the time, had set the record for fillibusters, year after year. Democrats must have been !DOOOMED!, right? haha, no. They weren't. The GOP hated it, but it wasn't like the Democrats lost the independent vote and was !DOOMED! because it.

    And your perception that conservative Republicans are "mind controlled nowadays" is just more evidence of your hyper-partisanship.

    If someone is owned so badly and basically too stupid to come up with their own response, why would someone watch a video they post?
